Of all the classic desserts, I love cheesecake the most….especially this easy healthy no bake berry cheesecake! There are so many flavors of cheesecake like pumpkin and chocolate, but a classic one with berries on top is so delicious! That moist and fluffy texture, the creaminess that melts in your mouth… You know what I’m talking about, I’m sure.
You can easily imagine my joy when I got the same texture and delicious taste with healthy ingredients like cashews, coconut cream, honey, lemon juice and berries (not exactly the same, of course, but amazing in a different way). This no bake mini berry cheesecake recipe is paleo, vegan and doesn’t contain any refined sugars or flours, no dairy, no gluten and yet you still get a great dessert. Sounds really good, right?
And the options are endless for this cheesecake recipe because you can make any combination that you want. You can use any type of berry or fruit, natural extracts and flavors to give your cake the aroma and taste you want. You can switch it up to be a strawberry cheesecake or even a lemon or chocolate one!
Plus, the best part is that this dessert is so nourishing that you’ll only need to eat a small slice to feel completely satisfied. You can even share the mini cheesecake with another person to enjoy it together.
No Bake Mini Berry Cheesecake (Paleo & Vegan):

- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1 tbsp honey or 8-10 dates for vegan
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup cashews soaked for 6 hours
- 3 tbsp coconut cream
- 3 tbsp honey (or coconut nectar for vegan) divided
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp crushed cardamom
- 2 tbsp blueberry puree
- 2 tbsp raspberry puree
Place the almonds in a food processor and grind until they resemble flour. If you prefer a crunchier crust just leave them roughly chopped.
Add the dates or honey plus coconut oil, and process until you have a sticky dough.
Place two cake rings on a platter. Two small different sized cake molds that were about 41/2 inches and 5 1/2 inches were used for this recipe. If you use two 4-5 inch mini molds, that should work fine for this recipe or possibly one 8inch mold. On the bottom of each cake mold press the dough evenly, and take the platter to the fridge until you prepare the filling.
Place all the cashews, coconut cream and oil, 2 1/2 tablespoons of honey, orange and lemon juice, vanilla and cardamom in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide the filling between the two cake rings and take back to the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. If you want to enjoy the cheesecakes faster, place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Mix each berry puree with 1/4 tablespoon of honey, and spread on top of the cakes to serve.

hi there how many dates are required for the base?Happy valentines day i hope to make this today
Whoops! That was a typo in the recipe. You can either use honey OR dates. I just updated the recipe 🙂
what size cake rings did you use?
Two small different sized cake molds that were about 41/2 inches and 5 1/2 inches were used for this recipe. If you use two 4-5 inch mini molds, that should work fine for this recipe. Or possibly one 8inch mold.
I like how you have used nuts like almonds and cashews in the recipe. Just makes it more healthy !
What size cake rings did you use, it would help to make sure the cheesecake comes out full not flat.
